MAKE IT TO TIFF® WITH TFS

This fall, Toronto Film School is rolling out its biggest TIFF experience yet—celebrating five decades of the Toronto International Film Festival® Presented by Rogers and our own ever-growing presence within Canada’s creative industries.

Whether you’re a future student, current student, or alumni, this is your moment to connect to the heartbeat of global film—on the ground, in the city, and on the street where it all happens.

From our exclusive Contest to the special Industry Tour, you’re invited to take part in both—this is your year to experience TIFF with TFS like never before.
